Abstract

To improve the picking efficiency of orders in intelligent warehouses, this article conducts research on the AGV picking path planning problem. Firstly, a mixed storage strategy is introduced based on order characteristics, and a mathematical model is constructed with the objective of minimizing the total time for AGVs to complete all orders. Then, an improved Q-Learning algorithm with a greedy parameter and embedded conflict resolution strategy is proposed to obtain the optimal conflict-free picking path solution. Finally, through numerical comparison and analysis of examples, it is found that compared with existing path planning algorithms, the proposed algorithm reduces the total time for AGVs to complete all orders by 13.79% and 27.82%, respectively. The comparison of indicators such as the number of AGVs used and the proportion of waiting time due to path conflicts verifies that the proposed algorithm and mixed storage strategy can effectively alleviate congestion, reduce the length of driving paths, and improve picking efficiency.
